We introduce the set of quasi-Herglotz functions and demonstrate that it has properties useful in the modeling of non-passive systems. The linear space of quasi-Herglotz functions constitutes a natural extension of the convex cone of…
We define covering and separation numbers for functions. We investigate their properties, and show that for some classes of functions there is exact equality of separation and covering. We provide analogues for various geometric…
A new class of positive definite functions related to colour-length function on arbitrary Coxeter group is introduced. Extensions of positive definite functions, called the Riesz-Coxeter product, from the Riesz product on the Rademacher…
Given a continuous function $\phi$ defined on a domain $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^m\times\mathbb{R}^n$, we show that if a Pr\'ekopa-type result holds for $\phi+\psi$ for any non-negative convex function $\psi$ on $\Omega$, then $\phi$ must be…
We formalize a transfinite Phi process that treats all possibility embeddings as operators on structured state spaces including complete lattices, Banach and Hilbert spaces, and orthomodular lattices. We prove a determinization lemma…
Many practical optimization problems lack strong convexity. Fortunately, recent studies have revealed that first-order algorithms also enjoy linear convergences under various weaker regularity conditions. While the relationship among…
We here extend the well known Positive Real Lemma (also known as the Kalman-Yakubovich-Popov Lemma) to complex matrix-valued generalized positive rational function, when non-minimal realizations are considered. We then exploit this result…
We consider the conic linear program given by a closed convex cone in an Euclidean space and a matrix, where vector on the right-hand-side of the constraint system and the vector defining the objective function are subject to change. Using…
We consider the class of smooth convex functions defined over an open convex set. We show that this class is essentially different than the class of smooth convex functions defined over the entire linear space by exhibiting a function that…
In this article we consider means of positive bounded linear operators on a Hilbert space. We present a complete theory that provides a framework which extends the theory of the Karcher mean, its approximating matrix power means, and a…
In this paper we introduce the class of infinite infimal convolution functionals and apply these functionals to the regularization of ill-posed inverse problems. The proposed regularization involves an infimal convolution of a continuously…
Strong convergence and convergence in probability were generalized to the setting of a Riesz space with conditional expectation operator, $T$, in [{{\sc Y. Azouzi, W.-C. Kuo, K. Ramdane, B. A. Watson}, {Convergence in Riesz spaces with…
This paper considers the problem of smoothing convex functions and sets, seeking the nearest smooth convex function or set to a given one. For convex cones and sublinear functions, a full characterization of the set of all optimal…
Convex sets appear in various mathematical theories, and are used to define notions such as convex functions and hulls. As an abstraction from the usual definition of convex sets in vector spaces, we formalize in Coq an intrinsic…
The projection of sample measurements onto a reconstruction space represented by a basis on a regular grid is a powerful and simple approach to estimate a probability density function. In this paper, we focus on Riesz bases and propose a…
We introduce the cone of completely-positive functions, a subset of the cone of positive-type functions, and use it to fully characterize maximum-density distance-avoiding sets as the optimal solutions of a convex optimization problem. As a…
We consider linear operators defined on a subspace of a complex Banach space into its topological antidual acting positively in a natural sense. The goal of this paper is to investigate of this kind of operators. The main theorem is a…
We study the class $\mathcal{M}_{\mathrm{ratio}}$ of those probability distributions for which the free $R$-transforms are rational functions. This class is closed under the additive free convolution, additive free powers and under the…
For a rational function of several variables with nonnegative imaginary part on the upper poly-half-plane, the matrix representations are obtained.
We present a Riesz integral representation theory in which functions, operators and measures take values in uniform commutative monoids (a commutative monoid with a uniformity making the binary operation of the monoid uniformly continuous).…
